Infield in but not outfield with one out...go ahead run at third.

Cleveland is the team who really should have won this one already...3-4 times already

Let's play two. Mr. Cub

Longest game in majors now this year. Would wipe out Sox bullpen for 2-3 weeks at least lol.

Kwan is a fighter out there. Quintessential Guardian. This would be the eighth time in season CLE beats Minn in final at bat.

haven't seen Jose Ramirez not bust it down the line once this entire season

Twins vs. Yankees

Are we in love with Kelly now with a 6.61 ERA?

Robert is about as good as late 80s KW right now.

Two years in a row. Hahn El Mago.

Trying to get back after one month with mom after she nearly died, which isn’t completely unexpected at age 93 (kidney failure and sepsis, thankfully under hospice care next six months which is an amazing program)…in the face of a bureaucratic wall. Next up Bangkok Taiwan Macau. A week in quarantine at least nice weather outside. Have spent $380 $150 and $40 on Covid testing on this trip alone after maybe $40-50 over three years in China. Just one big money grab. Now I have four vaccines in me along with a flu shot.

Sure but have to respect a team with a bottom five payroll having the fifth best farm system (trading away at the deadline in order to keep building for 2023-25) and using the most rookies of any team in baseball while hardly missing a single beat… Would have been so easy to deal Ramirez and Bieber.

Compare Sox Guardians playoff appearances since the mid 90s. Or even since 2013...

Going to be tough against SEA or Toronto. TB seems the best possible matchup.

Extras? ?

Matt Wallner just homered first big league homer. Third big league AB. 12th time in Twins' history. 28th for season all levels.

Mariners?

Top JR prize is second... leave em wanting more every year.

Never score four or more against CLE against Justin Bieber.

Game might be over with sacrificial spot starter for Minny. Pilkington to go later on DH day haha.

Disasster for Nick Gordon there.

Greetings from Vienna Austria

for short stretches, Loiaza and Contreras

Jose Contreras Black Jack McDowell Freddy Garcia Easy Ed Walsh Years with the club: 1904-1916 Ed Walsh was the first of many great White Sox pitchers in history. A World Series Champion in 1906, Walsh put up numbers that look downright silly considering how much the game has changed since his time. He had five seasons with 20+ victories, including 40, yes 40 in 1908. Walsh holds the record for career ERA with 1.82. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1946. Ted Lyons...hard to compare because his stats other than career wins look relatively pedestrian. Of course, the same goes for Walsh in the opposite way. Let's just say if Dylan can do this for another couple of seasons...at least one more, then you start to have a real argument. Giolito entering this season had a VERY VERY solid stretch of three season, and overall 12.6/4=3.15 fWAR, and that's not prorated for 2020 so it's closer to 3.5 in actuality. Cease is 8.2 over 3 and 8.5 including just 2021-2022. All things considered, if Cease has ONE MORE fully healthy season with a 4+ fWAR, then you're talking. Carlos Rodon is at 10.3 for the last two years, for example. Now obviously he's on the Giants now, but I think two years vs. three years makes a significant difference. (the comparison is more about performance level, because Rodon's obviously NOT RH.) With Giolito, he was VERY solid for three seasons, but not four...so Lucas falls into that Black Jack McDowell but slightly lesser than since he never quite peaked at Cy Young level before falling off. With Dylan, not winning against the Astros in the post-season and not starting against OAK the previous year is another cross he has to bear before we can start saying greatest of all-time Sox RHP. On the other hand, with Buehrle/Sale/Pierce at LHP is quite obvious. And looking back over the years, there's also a real case here for Eddie Cicotte of the Black Sox Era teams.
